For a new perspective

A former Norwegian research vessel tastefully converted into an expedition vessel ideal for exploring the Arctic, Kinfish is small yet intrepid – and her many viewing areas reveal fresh angles on the Arctic realms she explores.

What we love about Kinfish

She’s small…

Kingfish’s small size makes her perfect for exploring the places larger vessels can’t reach.

… but sturdy

Her ice-strengthened hull makes her as intrepid as she is agile; she’s able to get deep into the Arctic and explore the ice edge.

Low engine vibrations and an aft deck viewing area less than a metre from the waterline, Kinfish is a superior vessel for photographers.

Why Secret Atlas?

There's a certain spirit that yearns to venture where few have gone, to feel the wilder side of life, and embrace the unknown. 

We are guided by that spirit.

We help others discover a world much bigger than the ones they encounter day-to-day, then explore it the way it deserves to be explored – with appreciation, time, and in harmony with nature.
